Five common household items pose health risks when used incorrectly

Household items like plastic containers, air fresheners, cleaners, non-stick pans, and insecticides can pose health risks if used improperly. Improper use of these items can release chemicals that may disrupt hormones, damage the respiratory system, and are linked to cancer and neurological diseases. Experts advise using glass or ceramic for heating, ventilating instead of using air fresheners, avoiding mixing cleaners, replacing non-stick pans, and using fewer insecticides.
